Few days ago on my host (Freebsd 2.2.6, 486dx 24Mg) on the hard disk
(SAMSUNG WNR-31601A 1600MB) the bad sectors was detected. Fortunately, it
happends on /home partition (last 500 Mb of drive), where not so much
usefull stuff exists (it's a proxy and mail server). 
I make a
	$ bad144  -sv wd0
several times, and it seems to found all bad blocks.
But the fsck hangs (and whole system too) after several questions like 

Cannot read block XXXX. CONTINUE y/n?

and on the console printed some warnings about
soft and hard reading errors. 

May be, i forgot something to do ? 
What's the usual way to fix the bad blocks problem ? 
Can i at least extract some data from this drive ?

Alex Derevyanko.
